Rate this book
Poeta hindú, pintor, humanista, patriota y educador son los principales títulos que caracterizaron a R. Tagore, laureado con el premio Novel en 1913. Nacio en Calcuta en 1861, recibiendo una educación preferentemente inglesa. Muy joven, comenzo a publicar versos admirables, recibiendo el sobrenombre de Shelley bengali. Como educador, fundo en 1901 la que fue luego la famosa escuela de Shantiniketan, en Bolpur, Bengala, y que mas tarde se llamo Escuela de Visva Bhrati. Su creado religioso fue ante todo humanista, puesto que respetaba y defendia lo individual. Politicamente aspiraba a que el movimiento nacionalista hindu se tradujera en reformas sociales antes que en libertades politicas.

About the author

Rabindranath Tagore

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.

«Las obras del hombre tienen el estigma de muerte que tienen, porque la mayor parte de nuestras actividades carecen de sentido y porque nuestras enerjías las empleamos en abastecernos de cosas y placeres sin eternidad en el fondo. Por eso intentamos dar a todo, a fuerza de añadiduras, un aspecto de permanencia. El hombre, ansioso de prolongar el placer, intenta sólo sumar, y tememos detenernos por miedo de que algún día todo termine».
